Hi Brother Michael,

Aha! I have two Minion Pros, the regular set that came with Adobe CS3
and Minion Pro Opticals. (The regular ones were all deactivated except
the Bold.) For reasons beyond my ken, they have that glyph in
different slots: 515 in the regular set and 1118 in the opticals.
Since they both have the same Postscript name, the apple font system
must just be picking one.

My mistake,
Pat
